RASHOMON
Overlapping of multiple story pieces, sewn together incompletely under a single thread.
Rashomon is an experimental zine that invites readers to experience the story from their own perspective by flipping the zine and changing the scene. This non-linear storytelling zine begins with the search for the truth and ends with open interpretation by individuals.

A term used to describe how a single event can be described in a variety of ways due to the unreliability of multiple witnesses. The witnesses’ unreliability and subjectivity are a result of situational, social and cultural differences.
The term “Rashomon Effect” was coined after iconic filmmaker Akira Kurosawa first utilized the storytelling technique in the film Rashomon (1950). The movie and the Rashomon Effect influenced countless films throughout history. The Rashomon Effect transcended cinema and is a term that is commonly used in both psychology and law.
